Quirky, yet stylish, this home in Bristol will put you right on the doorstep of some of the best bars and eateries around. Take Bulrush, for example, a Michelin-star, fine-dining restaurant with a beautiful seasonal menu – only a four minute walk away, and you’ll discover many other gems along the way. Picture this, a day spent simply letting your feet guide you – you might pop up in Old City, known for historic buildings and craft beer bars, or you might head to the Bristol Cathedral. In between sightseeing, you can stop off at coffee shops and cafes for light bites, but do yourself a favour and get home before sundown so you can sit out in the garden with a nice glass of something and watch the colours play on the horizon at sunset. 

Inside the home, you’ll find a mix of eclectic touches and plush furnishings with a colour palette that makes it feel a little luxurious. Claim your spot on the velvet corner sofa to catch up on some of your favourite Netflix series, or stay in bed for an early morning reading session after opening the windows and topping up your coffee. Come together in the sleek kitchen to sort out a full English before indulging at the dining table, or take it outside for an alfresco breakfast.

When the sun shines brightly over the city of Bristol, there's no better place to be than Harbourside – which is handy, as it's the location of this apartment, perched alongside the river. Grab a coffee from one of the buzzy cafes in this creative district and watch the world go by from the water's edge, if just for a while.  When it's time to uncover more of this happening quarter, you'll find buzzy restaurants, craft beer barges for an obligatory pint of Scrumpy cider, independent boutiques, museums aplenty, and a rich maritime history to boot within its charming, cobbled streets. And no visit to Bristol would be complete without some Banksy-spotting along the river. Keep an eye out for his parody of Vermeer's famous Girl with a Pearl Earring - it's quite a showstopper. Back at home, housed in a Grade II-listed Edwardian building, this apartment has some serious kerb appeal. Inside, the dual aspect windows provide a generous helping of natural daylight and though this is studio living, we think it's expertly formed. There's all the modern comforts you could wish for, while contemporary, mid-century inspired furniture and a soft colour palette bring character and warmth - just like a city bolthole should be.

Truly Scrumpy

Balcony

Neutral in charcoals and whites, the zesty pop of orange makes this home feel as trendy as the city it’s in. Bristol has become very popular for visitors and with good reason – with so many gorgeous eateries and bars dotted around the city, who wouldn’t want to come, eat, and conquer? Throw in a good mix of Georgian architecture, cobbled roads, leafy suburbs, and sights to see, and you’re onto a winner whenever you’re looking for a city break. 

When you’re not visiting said restaurants, or sussing out the best opportunities for a holiday selfie, you might be holed up in a cosy cafe with an extra large coffee as you devour the book you’ve just purchased at the second-hand store. Walk past the University of Bristol as you head to 1532 Bristol to catch a show at the performing arts theatre. 

Back home, let the breeze through by opening every skylight and simply sink back into the corner sofa and catch up on a series. Later, move family-time out into the garden as you dine alfresco – if the weather allows it, you might even choose to stay there with a board game until the sun finally sets.

Parking Available

In the very heart of Bristol, this swanky apartment is a little haven of comfort and understated luxury. If you’re in Bristol for a city break, you’ll be pleased to hear the artisan stalls and street food outlets of charming St Nicholas Market are a ten-minute stroll away and there are plenty of swanky restaurants lining the waterfront just outside your front door. You’re also just a ten-minute walk from the main train station, so this place is ideal for those who want to explore the city on foot.

Inside, gold-trimmed stools at the breakfast bar and tufted velvet sofas in chestnut-brown are a plush look back at yesteryear. The slate-grey kitchen hides myriad mod cons for meals at home, and the living room has an wood-burning stove for a little cosiness. High double doors from the 19th century connect the living and dining room with the kitchen, creating an open-plan feel and corniced ceilings sit alongside modern sculptures for an eclectic feel. When it comes to bedtime, bedrooms are soothing spaces of crisp white and pops of botanica and birdlife, courtesy of fabulous prints on the walls.

Bristol is a vibrant city with style and substance – so when you visit, you ought to stay somewhere equally chic. This brand-new boutique apartment is attractive and welcoming with everything you might need for a city break. The beds and sofa are comfortable so you’re guaranteed a restful stay, and there’s enough room around the stylish dining table if you fancy dining in – there’s no shortage of takeaway options here. 

The apartment is at the heart of Cotham, just a seven-minute walk from Cotham Hill – home to some of the city’s best-loved restaurants. It takes just twenty-one minutes to walk to the Floating Harbour, where you’ll watch boats and paddle-boarders go by, perhaps popping into the pubs dotted along the waterfront. The iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge is a twenty-six-minute walk, though it’s also easy enough to hop on a bus. The Cathedral is nineteen minutes away – it’s a popular filming location for period pieces, so you might recognise it. 

Whether you spend your stay spotting Banksy creations, taking in a show at one of the theatres, or gallivanting around the harbourside, you’re sure to be thrilled to be staying in such an elegant home.

As colourful as it is comfortable, this stylish apartment puts you in an ideal spot to explore the best of Bristol’s entertainment and culture. 

For a city that’s known for its edgy vibe and artistic prowess, this home certainly doesn’t disappoint. Full of vibrant pops of jewel and pastel hues, this cool space instantly feels welcoming. We love the plump blush pink sofa that beckons chilled-out lounging with a mug of tea and a good book, while the dining table invites hearty at-home meals when you’re not checking out Bristol’s celebrated food scene. 

The bedrooms are equally as chic with their Matisse-inspired art prints and retro-modern furnishings – we’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s tangerine velvet headboard that feels like an updated take on Art Deco elegance. 

And while you could easily spend much of your time luxuriating in your chilled-out pad, head out to explore the many sights within walking distance. Cabot Circus (a six-minute walk) is where you’ll find some of the city’s best shopping, and Stokes Croft (a fifteen-minute walk) is a sight to behold with its famous street art-lined streets, including some by graffiti legend Banksy. With Castle Park being an eight-minute walk away too and plenty of restaurants and bars within easy reach as well, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to things to see and do.

Set on one of the most delightful Georgian squares in Bristol (and that’s saying something), this elegant period townhouse is a dream come true. The location is unbeatable – it's sandwiched between leafy Berkeley Square and Brandon Hill Park, which offers fabulous views of the city and is a great place for a picnic as the sun starts to set. From this spot, you can walk to all the best restaurants and attractions in Bristol, including Clifton Village – home to independent shops, cosy pubs and gorgeous terraced houses – as well as the city centre. With its ample rooms, grand ceilings and antique-style furniture, the interior radiates traditional character. Keen cooks can flex their culinary muscles in the charming kitchen, or better yet, you can arrange a catered feast with the on-site hosts, one of whom is a trained chef. There are seven cosy bedrooms to choose from (some even offer glimpses of Cabot Tower), while a comfortable living/dining room is perfect for when you want a relaxed evening in.

Welcome Hamper

Nice to haves

This bungalow with its own private courtyard is located in the stunning Georgian area of Clifton, Bristol. Begin your first morning here on the perfect note with a cup of tea or coffee from your welcome basket, and enjoy it alfresco in the courtyard for a breath of energising fresh air on a sunny day. 

Walk to the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge – just ten minutes away – and admire the incredible views on offer. Or explore Clifton Triangle – affectionately known as Clifton village – which is a short one-minute walk away. Here, you will find plenty of bars and restaurants for dining or a nightcap. Then, after a busy day, retire home and relax on the living room’s large bespoke sofa and enjoy films or your favourite programmes on the 50-inch smart TV. 

Flamingo Fandango

Desk

Decorated with Matisse wall prints and colourful artsy soft furnishings, this vibrant home is the ideal base for exploring the equally as colourful and bustling city of Bristol. Located just a few minutes walk from Cabot Circus and Broadmead – for great shopping – Castle Park – for tranquil walks along the harbour – and Temple Meads Train station – for all your transportation needs – there’s plenty to see and do within easy reach from your door. 

After a busy day of sightseeing and activities, relax on the sofa and read a good book in the natural light that bathes the living room, or catch up on any important work at the dedicated desk space found in the main bedroom. Sleep shouldn’t be a problem here either, with the Hypnos mattresses for a comfortable night of sweet dreams.

From the cosy living space to the comfortable bedroom, this apartment has contemporary cool written all over it. Perfect for a couple or solo traveller, it has everything you'll need for a relaxed stay – crisp linens on the king-sized bed, a fully-equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, a smart TV for streaming your favourite films and a big dining table that can double as a workspace when you need to check in with the office. Even better than all that is the area – this is one of Bristol's hippest neighbourhoods, and the apartment is tucked away in a Grade II-listed Edwardian building right on the riverfront. Soak up the sunshine at Castle Park (a five-minute walk away) or pop over to St Nicholas Market for some street food and bric-a-brac browsing (two minutes on foot). If you're in the mood to go out, grab a drink and a bite to eat at one of the neighbourhood's buzzing bars, pubs and restaurants – there are plenty of options to tickle your fancy right around the corner.

Cider & Cardamom

You'll find this cosy apartment situated in a Grade II-listed Edwardian building right by the river. As far as locales go, you can't do much better – funky bars, excellent restaurants and lively pubs are practically on your doorstep. The city is your oyster: browse the stalls and chow down on street food at St Nicolas Market (a two-minute walk away), climb to the top of Cabot Tower (fifteen minutes on foot) or picnic in Castle Park on summer days (five minutes on foot). Come home after an adventure-filled afternoon and unwind in the snug living area. Share a bottle of wine (or some local cider) around the dining table, then sprawl out on the sofa for a movie night. Bright and stylish, it's the perfect pad to call home – plus, with soft linens, a fully stocked (albeit compact) kitchen and super-fast wifi, everything you'll want or need is covered. 

Cider & Cinnamon

Nestled amidst the cobbled streets of Old Market, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. It's perfectly positioned to explore Bristol, just a short walk from Cabot Circus, Castle Park and Temple Meads Station and steps from an eclectic array of bars, cafes, eateries and independent boutiques. For one of the best flat whites in town, swing by 25A Old Market St, only a three-minute stroll from your doorstep.

We love this home's chic design aesthetic. The interior is modern and inviting, cloaked in a crisp colour palette of peach and mint that's sure to put a smile on your face as soon as you step inside. Between adventures in the city, kick back in the open-plan living space, primed for relaxation with a smart TV and plenty of plush seating, and gather around the spacious dining table for delicious home-cooked meals prepared in the high-spec kitchen.
